Name and describe the three types of blood vessels?

Question

idk name all if u all can lol pleasepplz

Answer 1

Types of blood vessels

Once blood leaves the heart, it is transported around the body in three main types of blood vessels:

Arteries

Veins

Capillaries

Arteries

Arteries transport the oxygenated blood away from the left side of the heart. Like the branches of a tree, they become thinner as they spread out from the main arteries. These smaller branches are called arterioles. The largest artery in the body, connected directly to the heart, is the aorta.

Veins

Veins transport used blood from all over the body back to the heart and lungs for re-oxygenation. Veins are often visible through your skin as blue lines. They are blue because they carry blood that is full of waste products, and are low in oxygen. The "motorways" of the venal system are the Venae Cavae. The Superior Vena Cava carries blood to the heart from the upper body, while the Inferior Vena Cava carries blood from the lower body.

Another unique feature of veins is that they have valves. Like the valves in the heart, they are there to prevent a backflow of blood. The blood must flow in one direction only, against gravity in most cases, back to the heart.

Capillaries

Capillaries are minute blood vessels that join onto the arterioles. They are one cell thick and are exchange points where the nutrients cross into the tissue cells (muscles) from the arterioles. Waste products from the tissues cross back into the bloodstream in the capillaries then into the venules.

Answer 2

There are various kinds of blood vessels:

    * Arteries

          o Aorta (the largest artery, carries blood out of the heart)

          o Branches of the aorta, such as the carotid artery, the subclavian artery, the celiac trunk, the mesenteric arteries, the renal artery and the iliac artery.

    * Arterioles

    * Capillaries (the smallest blood vessels)

    * Venules

    * Veins

          o Large collecting vessels, such as the subclavian vein, the jugular vein, the renal vein and the iliac vein.

          o Venae cavae (the 2 largest veins, carry blood into the heart)

They are roughly grouped as arterial and venous, determined by whether the blood in it is flowing away from (arterial) or toward (venous) the heart. The term "arterial blood" is nevertheless used to indicate blood high in oxygen, although the pulmonary artery carries "venous blood" and blood flowing in the pulmonary vein is rich in oxygen. This is because they are carrying the blood to and from the lungs, respectively, to be oxygenated.

Answer 3

Femoral artery in the legs,, radial artery in the arms, ,Carotids artery in the neck, aorta artery's the heart, that's four and there is more

Answer 4

Arteries carry the blood from the heart to all parts of the body.

Capillaries let the blood flow to individual cells.

Veins carry the blood back to the heart.

The flow pattern is heart > arteries > capillaries > veins > heart > lungs > heart, etc.

Answer 5

I often wonder if people know what "Botany" means...
